Ohhhhh shiiiiiiiiieeeet . . .brehs


Lawyers are cross examining Jay . . trying to establish that he broke the clause that prohibited vulgarity over the sample. In response, he's being vague


Well . . . in Jay's book . . (you know that bullshyt art coffee table book?) he mentioned how vulgar he sees the song in retrospect and he can't believe he did it




Looks like these lawyers aren't on their game

believe hov doesn't know it was sampled, brehs
You really think Hov is out taking risks for a single that potentially could earn him millions of dollars when Universal is paying the tab :what:

Let's clear all samples in these 200 songs I've done, even the indie ones in RD. But just this one time I'll stop my huge staff, MD investment banking manager etc and go and handle legal issues with my school of hard knocks degree in order to not clear this huge single:mjlol:

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
I can't blame the people with this lawsuit, Timbo is a hoe ass nikka for acting like wasn't sampling. It was probably why he and Jay fell out. That along with his camp leaking he bp3 songs, Jay should've left his brain dead ass in the bushes.
Maybe Jay knew that shyt was a sample fam. Lol. How the fukk else would Tim have gotten that sound? I knew it was a sample back when it came out. Didn't know where from tho. Well I guess I could see how someone who doesn't make beats might not think that deep into it. So maybe he didn't know. Now there are beats that Timbo did that I legitimately didn't know we're samples tho. Tim is dope as fukk. It gave me more of an appreciation for his digging and his flipping.

timbo is notorious for lying about sampling to the point he's made up elaborate ass stories about where he got certain sounds from. i remember him and missy talkin bout they found some egyptian nikka to talk on get ya freak on...that shyt was on a sample cd.

Let's be real tho.
Hearing the Sample. There are only 2 producers who could have flipped that into a smash.

Timbo and Dre (would love to hear it as a post-G-Funk track:ohlawd:).


Say what you want but that shyt ain't as easy or simple as it looks. At the time, those two were the best.
